I suspect you need to install a driver locally for the job you're
printing. Go back and 'modify printer' to select an appropriate driver.
If there isn't one available, do a google search for a .ppd file for
your printer. Before doing so make sure you have all the packages
installed on the 'samba/windows printing howto'

This may be the lack of a driver causing this.
